Hi all,

DB9 ports seem to be a nearly extinct feature on laptops. Any suggestions
on a cheap laptop for use in field support (with an onboard DB9)?


You can look at older Dell Latitudes such as D620 or any Prolific based
USB-to-Serial adapter (If running those on Windows, you can set the driver
so that it will report the same COM port even if it's plugged in different
USB ports).
